The Complete Guide to Irshalgad Trek

Standing tall besides the Matheran hill station, Irshalgad is an iconic boat-shaped hill that is easily distinguishable from afar.

Connected to the more popular Prabalgad fort by a rarely used ridge, it can be approached from three different trails of varying difficulty.

The climb to the peak can be divided into three phases: The base of the pinnacle, the Needle hole and the final, technical push to the peak. As a DIY trek, we only recommend going upto the second level, as the final stretch is especially treacherous and has been the cause for a couple of unfortunate casualties

What to watch out for

How to Get Fit for the Trek

The Irshalgad trek is classified as a  Moderate grade trek . From Chowk at 130 feet, you will gain approximately 1,600 feet in altitude. Though the altitude gain is not much, the continuous ascent can be quite demanding for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle.

Training yourself for a low-altitude Moderate grade trek

Here’s a guide to help you get fit for the trek in 4 weeks.

Cardiovascular endurance.

In case you’re just starting with a fitness routine, start slow and increase your pace everyday in the following manner –

• Target completing a brisk walk of 5 km in 45 minutes when you begin.
• Gradually increase your pace by walking 5 km, 4 times a week.
• As you become more comfortable, introduce jogging in your routine.
• Progressively increase the distance you jog in a workout until you can complete 5 km in 40 mins.

If you prefer cycling over running, target covering 15 km in 60 minutes when you begin.

• Progressively increase your pace to cover 18 km in one hour.

Strength training

This is an important area you need to work on.

Strength training is equally important to trek comfortably. Work on your glutes, calves and knees. Additionally, work on strengthening your core.

You must strengthen your core muscles. For strengthening your core muscles, holding a plank and it’s variations (elbow, side planks) are the best exercises to go about doing it.

Also try these exercises for strength-

Target 4 sets of squats with 20 in each set

– Squats (Mix it up with sumo squats)

– Lunges (Forward, backward and lateral lunges)

Flexibility

Flexibility determines the amount of movement your bones can make in any direction around joints such as shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.

It is an aspect that will help you trek comfortably. Carrying a backpack, however light, can become a strain. Stretching your hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors and lower back muscles regularly, promotes relaxation in the tissues reducing the strain on your back.

If you can’t go out and jog because of time and space constraints,  here’s a video  you can use to work out indoors.

You’ll find restaurants at Panvel and Karjat. There are also a few stores in Chowk where you might get packaged water. The best option would ofcourse, be carrying enough water from your home.

Do I need to obtain permission for trekking to Irshalgad? 

No. You don’t need permission to trek to Irshalgad as such. However, you might be asked to enter details at Irshalwadi where they keep a log of visitors for emergency purposes.

Where can I get a guide for the trek?

The trail to the fort is probably as straightforward as it can get. However, if you are still unsure or need help with negotiating the slippery trail during monsoon, you can hire a guide from Irshalwadi. The charges will vary depending on your negotiation skills, group strength and the time of the year.

• Trekking Destinations

Table of Contents

Irshalgad Trek: An Introduction

Irshalgad lies in between Matheran and Panvel in Maharashtra and is at an altitude of 3700 feet.

The fort is not known for any historical events but Netaji Palkar, one of the most decorated senapatis under Shivaji Maharaj was born in Chouk Manlivali.

It is also known as a sister fort to Prabalgad.

It is one of the most sought-after treks in Maharashtra because of the view of the Irshal pinnacle from the Irshalwadi plateau and the unique hole-like structure at the pinnacle.

Region:  Matheran

Altitude:  3700 feet

Difficulty:  Moderate

Best Season:  Monsoons (Winters are also considered good)

How to reach Irshalgad

The base village for the trek is Irshalwadi & Naniwali village; however, to reach the base from Mumbai Pune, these are the two best options:

• Take a local train to Karjat/Panvel from CST railway station and then take a local bus or private rickshaw to Chouk Manivali. 
• The rickshaw driver will charge you between 300-450 INR one way from Karjat to the start point and it takes around 30-40 mins to reach .
• You can drive to the base village. The distance from Mumbai is 55 km.
• Note:  The parking fee is INR 50 for two-wheeler vehicles & INR 100 for four-wheeler vehicles.

Trek Difficulty & Route

The Irshalgad fort trek is approximately 3 kms from Naniwali to the Irshal pinnacle. It requires anywhere between 4 -5 hours to complete the hike; Hence it is a medium-level trek . The trek can be done in the monsoons, though it gets a bit slippery and can get tough for people not used to trekking in the monsoons.

The trek starts from Nanivali village next to Morbe dam, and is an easy ascend till Irshalwadi or you can call it a comfortable 2.3 kilometres walk.

From the village head towards the temple dedicated to a local deity, from here the remaining distance of 1 km is a bit of a steep climb, and one may require short breaks in this part of the section. From here every trekker climbs a steep ridge.

To reach the Nedhe (a hole in the rock), one has to a thrilling climb over ladders and stones using the ropes attached. 

This is an experience in itself and one should be careful especially during the monsoons.

There is a technical section to reach the very top, which is only recommended to people with experience in technical climbs & mountaineering. (It should be avoided by seasonal trekkers).

The area of the fort is not large but there are several water cisterns cuts from the rock.

You can also subscribe to our monthly travel newsletter, where we give information about treks, travel hacks, travel experiences & discounts on various travel gear, and treks organised by our partner.

Things to do & see

• Majestic views of the Matheran range
• Irshaldevi mandir at the top
• A hole-like structure at the top called Nedhe
• Camping at the Irshalwadi village

Important Information

• It is suggested to carry enough water, as you can only refill the water at Irshalwadi village. There are no water sources at the top where you can fill your water bottles.
• You can check the trek route on  Ramblr  or download the GPX file after logging in and import the file to your Google maps.
• Try the local food at the Irshalwadi village; you can ask the villagers to prepare a meal for you beforehand.
• The trail is well laid out, so you do not require a local guide. However, if you are a beginner, we recommend getting one who can help you through tricky sections and make food arrangements if needed.

Irshalgad Fort Trek

Irshalgad fort trek is located in between Matheran and Panvel in Maharashtra. It is a sister fort to Prabalgad. The altitude of the trek is 518 mtrs till the rock cut called Nedhe. The area of the fort is not as large as Prabalgad but there are several water cisterns cut from the rock.

The name Irshalgad itself is a misnomer; Irshalgad is actually a pinnacle and not a fort. It hardly comes across anywhere in history. It may have been used as a watchtower to look after the area between Manikgad and Prabalgad. In May 1666, Shivaji Maharaj conquered the region of Kalyan and Bhiwandi, up to Rairi. Irshalgad, must have come under the Maratha rule at that time. It is the neighbour to Prabalgad. Kumar Prakash Durve lost his life after falling down from this pinnacle onJanuary 23, 1972. To remember this day, all the trekkers from the Mumbai – Thane region assemble here on January 26 every year.

Irshalgad fort trek is actually a pinnacle and it can be easily made out because of it’s distinct shape from the Mumbai Pune Highway. There is a water tank on the route from the Irshal plateau to the peak. The most important characteristic of the for is the “Nedhe” which is a natural rock cavity formed because of wind erosion. There is a water tank and a cave next to the Nedhe. This water is suitable for drinking. The pinnacle needs to be climbed with the aid of rock climbing equipment. The climb is considered to be an easy one by the climbing fraternity but should not be attempted by amateurs. From the top we can see the forts of Prabalgad, Matheran, Chanderi, Malanggad, Karnala and Manikgad.

Irshalgad pinnacle is accessible by an easy to moderate 2 hour trek. Nanivali village (the starting point of this trek) is a comfortable 2.3 kilometres walk from Chowk. A wide well defined path from the Nanivali village takes you to the Irshalwadi village. The path climbs a steep ridge and then tapers to an easy ascend till Irshalwadi. From Irshalwadi village head towards a temple dedicated to a local deity and access the Irshalgad plateau via a west-east axis. The trek is fairly easy till the pinnacle base.

On encounters a water tank on the route from the Irshal plateau to the peak. From there, we reach the needle hole near the top after negotiating a simple rock patch and a rickety ladder. This is pretty trick during monsoons. The route is well marked and has a metal board at some places. Over the years and after numerous landslides, the path as become a bit risky. Proceeding little ahead, we see a water tank to the left and a cave to the right. The route from the Nedhe climbs  up to the top of the pinnacle. It is essential to have artificial rock climbing equipment to climb the pinnacle. Many lives have been lost while trying to climb this pinnacle. There are bolts placed at regular intervals for climbing. The pinnacle climb requires 100 feet of rope and is extremely difficult for a first timer.

Prabalgad can be reached from Irshalgad after a 20km long traverse walk. One needs to starts from Chowk railway station, climb up to Irshalgad Nedhe and back to Irshalwadi before proceeding to Prabalgad by a 2 km long connecting ridge at the North. An exposed traverse over the prabalgad plateau leads you to the Poinje col, from where one can ascend Prabalgad via the  Poinje South ascend (aka Chincholi Vaat) rout. Else one can continue west to reach the southern Prabalmachi village and then continue to Kalavantin Durg, Thakurwadi or Vardoli. A local guide is essential as the trail is often confusing and hidden underneath overgrowth during Monsoon.

How to Reach

Alight at Chowk bus stop and cross Chowk railway station to reach the Morbe Dam road. The trail passes through Nanivali before climbing uphill to Irshalwadi (base village).

The nearest railway station is Karjat from where one can hire a  private vehicle to Base village, Naniali near Chowk. One can also get down at Panvel and take a shared or a private rickshaw to Nanivali near Morbe dam. State Transport buses are also available from Panvel.

If travelling by your own vehicle is Nanivali village near Chowk town should be your road head. Chowk town lies on NH4 that connects Panvel with Karjat and is an easy drive from Mumbai as well as Pune.

Irshalgad trek blog ❤️one of the easy winter sahyadri treks.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Irhsalgad trek ? I know you will say that the fort which is visible & noticeable from Mumbai-Pune highway both old one & expressway due to its unique shape. Since my childhood i was always puzzled to see an oddly shaped rock from the highway. It was only during my college days that i realised that its an actual fort with a nedhe ( needle hole rock ) & from then onwards I have been here many times for small hikes. In this Irshalgad Trek blog you will get all the necessary information to do this trek easily. More adventures like this one at the end of the post.

How to Reach Irshalgad from Mumbai & Pune ?

Where is Irshalgad fort located? Irshalgad lies in the Khalapur Taluka of Raigad Maharashtra. It is surrounded by Morbe dam, Matheran range & Prabalgad range of mountains. Irshalgad is 20kms from Panvel, 60kms from Mumbai & 100ksm from Pune. The base village for Irshalgad is Nanivali & Chowk is the closest big city.

By Train to Chowk: Chowk railway station is the nearest station for this trek. If you can reach Chowk station then you dont need any extra transport for this trek However there are very few trains which stop here. As such Panvel & Karjat station become the nearest stations. From where you will need to take local transport to reach Chowk for Irshalgad

By road to Chowk: From Panvel one can easily get on a ST bus / EECO rickshaw to Karjat , Khopoli & get down at Chowk Village on highway. ( Locations – Panvel Bus Stand & Panvel Rickshaw Sta nd ) From Karjat Station you can get on a ST bus / EECO rickshaw going towards Dand- Phata , Panvel & get down at Chowk village on highway. ( Karjat Bus stand & Rickshaw stand )

Form Chowk to Nanivali: Once at Chowk or Chowk Station , you will need to walk to Nanivali village for some 20 minutes if you dont get small rickshaws available at Chowk road. If you have you own vehicle you can reach Nanivali directly on a proper tar road. You can also stop at Morbe dam just before Nanivali for some fresh air.

Is Irshalgad difficult trek for beginners ? Is guide needed for Irshalgad trek ?

Niraj, what is the difficulty level of Irshalgad? This is an easy level trek till the Irshalgad base with straight forward trail. You wont loose the track . However the climb from the base to the Irshalgad Nedhe ( needle hole ) is a bit tough and not recommended for beginners , family or people having fear of heights. This rock pack is almost vertical at 2 locations where villagers have tied up ladders & ropes for assistance. So would be better if you do this part with some experienced trekker who can help you in the climb. This rock climb gets even tougher during monsoon when rocks become slippery. If you can manage these spots then you are at the top.

At the top there is one pinnacle with a flag on it which is not attempted by regular trekkers. It is purely technical and should not be attempted without mountaineering expertise.

How long is the Irshalgad trek?

Niraj, how much time does Irshalgad trek take ? It takes about 2 hours to reach the top for a good trekker from Nanivali village.

What is the best time for Irshalgad Trek ?

All sahyadri treks are beautiful in monsoon. Irshalgad looks stunning with all the greenery & clouds. The top part climb to needle hole where the ladders are tied may become a bit slippery in monsoon. Apart from that its fantastic. Winter is also a good time as it provides excellent views of Morbe during sunrise & sunset. Many people prefer it for camping.

Khane me kya hai ?

There are few hotels near Chowk highway, then nothing till Irshalwadi which is at the base of the fort where new hotels are coming up. However on weekends especially in monsoon there are many make shift food huts which have cropped up throughout the trek route after every 10 minutes right till top of the fort where you will get snacks & even pre – ordered food. Bro-tip: You can have your snacks here & order your lunch which you can have on the way back. Remember these huts are only functional on weekends. If nothing works you can always order at Irshalwadi which have started few hotels.

There are two water tanks where drinkable water is available even till mid of summer. Water bottles would be available at the huts as well. But I avoid buying any plastic related items on treks. I dont even buy maggi and go for local food & breakfast which wont leave any plastic trail. Save Earth.

Camping & Stay at Irshalgad

Winter provides beautiful sunrise & sunsets . hence many people prefer camping here. Just before the rocky climb starts there is flat area which is a good area for camping. I remember seeing a few ads at Irshalwadi where tents were provided on rent- but i will need to double check it

What should I carry on this trek ?

First few things you must carry are qualities of a good human being - never trouble wild life, never draw on fort walls, never risk your life for selfies, never throw plastic anywhere (carry back all waste) and never play loud music. When in nature behave like animals. BE ONE WITH NATURE

On treks, first preference for food is ghar ka khana, fruits, dry fruits, lemon juice & lots of water over biscuits, breads and carbonated drinks. Also I do carry 1₹ chocolates for quick energy boosts. My normal attire includes full sleeved clothes , cap & proper trek shoes ( No flip-flops) Good goggles i.e anti-glares are must for summer treks. I also carry safety gadgets like fire starter, waterproof torch, whistle, first-aid just in case.

Irshalgad trek blog : My story

This Irshalgad trek blog would combine the photos from my two visits here in monsoon and summer from 2022 & 2015 respectively as the clouds didnt allow proper photography. That is this blog is in the making for 7 years ; take that Brahmastra & Avatar 😁Ideally this trek should take 90 minutes to climb from trek start @Nanivali over the ridge to the plateau & Irshalwadi. And another 60 minutes from Irshalwadi to the top. These times are inclusive of photography but exclusive of reels which take forever to shoot.

I am a regular at Morbe dam where I sit on rocks and just look at the shimmering water for hours during sunset. On trek day i didnt stop here and headed straight to Nanivali where i parked my bike and started the Irshalgad trek. During monsoon the entire region is rife with greenery and makes for a peaceful sahyadri trek.

The initial walk continues till the ridge from where the actual climbing starts. Once on the ridge as we gain height the Morbe dam becomes visible and can act as a wonderful backdrop for photos. Early morning photography got me excited

After climbing for a few more minutes even the dams on the other side becomes visible. I moved quickly through this ridge in monsoon. But i remember in summer when i had miscalculated time and reached here under the hot sun i was totally drained of my energy during the ridge climb. Lesson learned- Summer treks should be started early morning

It took me an hour to complete the climb and reach the plateau from where the fort started to be clearly visible. A dog also followed me to top . Too bad i didnt have any food for that dude.

As it was cloudy darkness took over too early and I had to increase my speed to reach Irshalgad peak . I rushed towards Irshalwadi and from there moved on to the actual fort without any stops. I covered this part quickly as it was just a flat walk & i ran most of the portion to make up some time.

I did see few advertisements for trekking camps & stays available in Irshalwadi. I crossed the temple after which there is well marked right turn from where starts a small climb to the top. By now the clouds had taken over the fort and visibility was becoming an issue for photography

I tried to hide these food huts in my photos but they are built too close to be hidden from the view. Prima facie i hate this development where the natural view is blocked. But then its someone’s bread and butter. Morever a hot chai at top would be very desirable on cold monsoon days like this. Only if it was a weekend i would have got something hot to eat. But since i hate crowds I have started to trek on weekdays. Hence no hot tea for me.

From the above view one has to walk from the left side through the rocky walls of Irshalgad to reach the rock climbing part which beginners might find difficult to negotiate.

Walking parallel to these mighty rocky walls we reach the rock climbing part. In monsoon this becomes slippery and extra care should be taken here – photos should be avoided as its a major distraction. I didnt take any pics here as it was getting very dark. I was worried without photos how can i complete my Irshalgad trek blog but then I remembered summer 2015 Irsahlgad trek which i did in broad day light. Here are some pics from that summer trek. The climb starts near a water tank where a ladder & couple of ropes are tied by villagers to assist the climb.

There is another longer ladder above this after which we reach the Irshalgad’s famous Nedhe ( Needle hole ) Needle holes are formed by years of rock erosion by wind. Just like waterfalls cut through rocks & soften their edges similarly wind can cut through rocks after many years. That is the power of nature & consistency. There are many Nedhe’s in Sahyadris most notable one being at Ratangad near Kasara.

Once at the Nedhe the trek is almost complete and one can move around the fort to see another water tank and enjoy the view of Morbe dam. There are no major things to see at the fort as it was just used to keep an eye on enemies moving in the near by areas and was not a proper fort per se.

Both the times the weather was cloudy i.e I couldn’t enjoy the view. On clearer days many forts are visible from Irshalgad namely Peb, Matheran, Rajmachi , Songiri , Manikgad , Karnala , Prabalgad , Kalavatin

As the view was not clear i felt something was missing & the trek felt incomplete. While looking around i felt that the pinnacle above the Nedhe was doable and without any second thought reached the top.

These pinnacles should not be climbed without technical expertise. I have enough mountaineering experience to have climbed here, but it was still an idiotic on my part to do so. From this pinnacle the flag pinnacle in front also looked very tough but i dont no what I was thinking as i decided to climb it as well.

THESE CLIMBS SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED WITHOUT TECHNICAL EXPERTISE .

That time i didnt have much knowledge about mountaineering and just climbed the pinnacle without any safety gear which was plain idiotic. This pinnacle should only be climbed with ropes and proper technical guidance

While climbing to the top i had a massive adrenaline pump ..Isse mujhe kick milti hai. The weather cleared as well. I spotted Peb , Matheran, Rajmachi , Songiri , Manikgad , Karnala , Prabalgad , Kalavantin . Too bad i didnt carry my camera up there. After getting down i sat down in the shadow of the same pinnacle. I wondered if I really climbed it.

In 2024 when i saw this pinnacle again I still wonder what made me climb it then. Youthful exuberance perhaps !

That’s it for the Irshalgad trek blog.

From Chowk, Karja village (the starting point of this trek) is a comfortable 2.3 kilometres walk. From Karja village you follow a wide well defined path till Irshalwadi village. The path climbs a steep ridge and then tapers to an easy ascend till Irshalwadi.

A Day Trek to Irshalgad!

Irshalgad; Taluka: Panvel; District Raigad ( Location )

First of all, let’s talk about how to travel. You don’t need to be a part of a trekking group that arranges such treks. Any groups can travel on their own. If you’re traveling by your own vehicle, then you need to go to a village called Nanivali, near Chowk (a town). Chowk is on NH4, which connects Panvel with Karjat. Chowk also has a railway station (Station code: CHOK). ‘Pune – Bhusaval Express’ is the train which can be onboarded to help you reach Chowk Railway Station. Chowk, Nanivali is the starting point of the trek to Irshalgad. ( For your convenience, I’ve posted Google Map location link at the end of the post)

For all of those who are planning their first trek, this will be the best start for them. Difficulty wise it can be rated between easy to a moderately-difficult trek which takes around 2 hours to climb and around 1.5 hours to descend. You can make this trek in two phases, one point when you reach the pinnacle base. But if you want to make your trek more adventurous then you can continue it till the top point. Refer to the below image to get more understanding about the two points.

Depending on the point you choose to end your trek on, you’ll get different views. Nonetheless, an awesome view, a dam, and the beautiful greenery all around you will be common from both of those points.

When you are on the top, you can enjoy the soothing mountain breeze with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Buy yourself a bowl of steaming hot Maggi, which will make you feel relaxed and make you forget about all the stress you have. Below are a few more images that we had captured during the trek. Now you can imagine how wonderful it’ll feel to be here in person.
